2.        Sunhats, an obvious staple of the summer months, are a must have. These oversized floppy style hats aren’t just for the sandy beaches. They are perfect to pair with cover-ups, maxi skirts, or anything crocheted.

 

3.        A huge trend among many celebs has been stacking rings on multiple fingers. Whether your style is indie, boho-chic, vintage, or sophisticated, these rings add a feminine flare to any look. With the popularity of pop-color polish, stacking rings is the perfect addition to this summer’s signature looks.

 

4.        What’s the summer without the perfect pair of sunglasses? This summer is all about variety and there are many different styles to choose from. As simple as they seem, sunglasses make a huge fashion statement. The more bold and sophisticated may opt for the timeless cat-eye, while the more playful and creative go for the colorful neon or oval-shaped lenses.

 

 

5.        Gold has been a huge trend in fashion lately. It was a big deal last winter and it’s continuing throughout the summer. Some essential gold accessories to add to your collection are layered gold necklaces and go-to gold watches. Michael Kors has an amazing line of watches that fit in perfectly in with this trend. These watches can be dressed up or down. They’re perfect for any occasion.

 


6.        The layering of gold necklaces is a trendy way to finalize an outfit. The necklaces can be worn by themselves or doubled for an added effect. The necklaces typically include a longer chain accompanied by two shorter chains. This trend in gold is a way to be both daring and delicate. To add a twist, you can also mix in silver metal.

 

7.        Pop colored bags are an essential accessory for the summer. Color rules when it comes to bags. A pop of color can complete any outfit. From beach bags to cross body bags, no matter the style, a bright bag is the perfect accessory to finalize your look. They lookespecially good with a fresh all-white outfit.

 

8.        Chunky, statement necklaces are the final essential summer accessory that every woman should own. This combination of gemstones, beads or rhinestones that embody a blush of color is the easiest way to perfect an outfit. But take care when adding this piece into your ensemble because it is powerful. So it’s best to play the other components of the outfit down, just to be sure you don’t overdo the look.
